Bolden on Al Jezeera Update: Left Wing Yawns; Right Wing Outrage

If you watch Al Jazeera, you know Obama’s new mission for NASA: To help Muslim nations ‘feel good’, LA Times
“You know how Wile E. Coyote straps himself to the rocket and lights the fuse? And it burns. And burns. Silence. Nothing. He’s poised, hopefully, awaiting launch. We wait, painfully, for the bad thing certain to happen.

The final frontier: Muslim self-esteem, National Post
“The earliest Islamic civilizations placed a high value on science and learning while Europe was going through the self-inflicted lobotomy of the Middle Ages. Only the most fierce Muslim-hater will pretend otherwise. But it speaks to the priorities of the current White House administration that even while NASA’s manned exploration programs are cancelled and America’s military space efforts fall behind due to lack of funding, the best and brightest of America’s scientific minds find themselves turning to the task of making a billion people feel better about themselves.”
